Two years ago, Warner Bros. released the Harry Potter Wizard’s Collection, a way to get all the movies in one big set. Then priced at $500, it sold out. Now, they’ve announced the Harry Potter Hogwarts Collection. If you were willing to wait two years, you now will pay $250 (or less) for basically the same content — without the pretty collectible packaging and artifacts. It makes sense for Warner to keep one of their showcase properties available, in an easier to ship and purchase form. You get all eight movies on Blu-ray, DVD, and UltraViolet digital copies.

There’s also an eight-part documentary, “Creating the World of Harry Potter”, and a Blu-ray bonus disc, adding up to more than 45 hours of extra content. There’s a total of 31 discs, available April 29 — or now, at Amazon.
